Travel and Accommodation, plus Information on the NZeTA

Information for people travelling to Wellington for NZSA 2024 is available from the following link. Please note this link opens in a new tab:
Travel and Accommodation in Wellington.

New Zealand has an Electronic Travel Authority (the NZeTA), which replaced a visa for short-term visitors from many countries. It is quick to apply for online but applications must be made from outside NZ, before travel commences. You do not need an NZeTA if you have a valid New Zealand visa, or are an Australian citizen travelling with an Australian passport. You must get an NZeTA if you do not have a valid visa and you are either travelling on a passport from a visa waiver country or travelling as a permanent resident of Australia.

The following website (which opens in a new tab) has some further information: Immigration New Zealand web page on the NZeTA.
